    Hi managers,

    I have a basic question regarding -i flag for metainit. What does this
    interlace size mean in terms of actual disk writes ?

    Suppose I have an application that writes in 64KB chunks. I want Solaris
    Volume manager (on solaris 9) to match this: I am trying to dodge multiple
    writes per application write

    1) For a RAID 0+1 volume composed of 5+5 disks -i 16k will give a __kb
    chunk ?
    2) For a RAID 5 volume of 10 disks how is this stripe size related to
    interlace ?

    What should I read to grasp this relationship ? Basically I am trying to
    extract as much performance from a A5200 as possible.

    Thank you again,
    -ansh
